So far, I'm not impressed. CB 1.x is better. I like the new interface, but there are too many omissions and quirks for this to be useful. All I want to do is a simple copy backup to an external HD scheduled daily at a specific time. Here are my 2 cents. Once you create a backup, you can not go back and edit it. You have to delete it and create a new backup. There is not an incremental backup option - it reruns the entire backup. That might be necessary for a .CBU file, but for a simple copy backup, it is extremely inefficient. Also, I set up 3 scheduled back up jobs - the first with a password. I walked away from the PC for a few hours and when I came back, CB was asking for the PW for the first job. That blocked the other backups from running at the scheduled time. It would be nice if each backup ran in a separate thread.

CB 2.0 is nice looking and easy to use, but I think it is too simple - it just doesn't have all the necessary features to be of any real use.

Hey russman7,

Incremental backups and full editing of scheduled jobs will be introduced into a (hopefully) near release.

Good point about the password protected backup blocking subsequent jobs. Wouldn't it better if it only asked for the password on restore and not on create?

Ewen :-)
